Chicken update

Well, the peeps are a little over 2 weeks old and growing like weeds. They are much more curious than the meat chickens were. They scratch around in the wood shavings looking for bugs and I think they will enjoy themselves when they move outside in about 6 weeks. They are also not obsessed with food, don't get me wrong they like to eat; food just isn't the be all end all with them. We can now tell the difference between the silver and golden breeds, their feathers make that a little easier. They are still small but their feathers seem to be coming in fast.
